Study Notes

Active-Passive Voice

  • Active voice in a sentence emphasizes the subject performing an action.
  • Passive voice emphasizes the action itself and the object receiving the action.

Passive Voice Formation

  • Be verb (in the appropriate tense) + Past Participle of the verb + Optional Prepositional Phrase
  • Present Simple: is/are/am + Past Participle
  • Present Continuous: is/are/am + being + Past Participle
  • Present Perfect: have/has + been + Past Participle
  • Past Simple: was/were + Past Participle
  • Past Continuous: was/were + being + Past Participle
  • Past Perfect: had + been + Past Participle
  • Future Simple: will be + Past Participle
  • Future Perfect: will have been + Past Participle

Examples

  • Active: The man builds the house.
  • Passive: The house is built by the man.
  • Active: He will have written a letter.
  • Passive: A letter will have been written by him.
  • Active: They are catching butterflies.
  • Passive: Butterflies are being caught by them.
  • Active: She does not decorate the cake.
  • Passive: The cake is not being decorated by her.

When to Use Passive Voice

  • When the actor is unknown or unimportant.
  • When the focus is on the action and its result.
  • To create a formal or impersonal tone.

Limitations

  • Passive voice can sometimes make sentences less direct and can be more difficult to understand.
  • It’s best to use active voice if the actor is important and you do not want to make your writing sound formal.
